TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show how the "comfort women" victim-survivors transform into cosmopolitan activists through Beck's three lenses of emancipatory catastrophism: violation of sacred norms, anthropological shock, and social catharsis.
Abstract: This paper is aimed at showing how the ‘comfort women’ victim-survivors transform into cosmopolitan activists through Beck’s three lenses of emancipatory catastrophism: violation of sacred norms, anthropological shock, and social catharsis. First, the anthropological shock of the comfort women was so great that three traumas or han 恨 were found: the trauma of being a comfort woman, of being cut off from the family and hometown, and of not being able to live a normal life as a woman. The shock for the general public came 50 years later, which caused the emergence of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted for Military Sexual Slavery by Japan (KCWD). Second, social catharsis, i.e., the paradigm shift and cosmopolitan sympathy, was possible through the ‘meaning work’ by KCWD. In conclusion, the anthropological shock has a hidden emancipatory effect for the ‘comfort women’ and their life can be seen as the metamorphosis found in a butterfly transforming from a caterpillar through a cocoon to a butterfly.

TL;DR: The authors examines the place of refugees in the national order of things and suggests that the displacement of refugees is constituted differently from other kinds of deterritorialization by those states, organizations, and scholars who are concerned with refugees.
Abstract: In this new theoretical crossroads, examining the
place of refugees in the national order of things
becomes a clarifying exercise. On the one hand, trying to understand the circumstances of particular
groups of refugees illuminates the complexity of
the ways in which people construct, remember, and
lay claim to particular places as “homelands” or
“nations.” On the other, examining how refugees
become an object of knowledge and management
suggests that the displacement of refugees is constituted differently from other kinds of deterritorialization by those states, organizations, and
scholars who are concerned with refugees. Here,
the contemporary category of refugees is a particularly informative one in the study of the
sociopolitical construction of space and place.

TL;DR: The Fate of Place as mentioned in this paper is a comprehensive study of the evolution of place and space in Western thought. But it is not a comprehensive overview of the entire history of philosophical approaches to space and place.
Abstract: In this imaginative and comprehensive study, Edward Casey, one of the most incisive interpreters of the Continental philosophical tradition, offers a philosophical history of the evolving conceptualizations of place and space in Western thought. Not merely a presentation of the ideas of other philosophers, "The Fate of Place" is acutely sensitive to silences, absences, and missed opportunities in the complex history of philosophical approaches to space and place. A central theme is the increasing neglect of place in favor of space from the seventh century A.D. onward, amounting to the virtual exclusion of place by the end of the eighteenth century. Casey begins with mythological and religious creation stories and the theories of Plato and Aristotle and then explores the heritage of Neoplatonic, medieval, and Renaissance speculations about space. He presents an impressive history of the birth of modern spatial conceptions in the writings of Newton, Descartes, Leibniz, and Kant and delineates the evolution of twentieth-century phenomenological approaches in the work of Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, Bachelard, and Heidegger. In the book's final section, Casey explores the postmodern theories of Foucault, Derrida, Tschumi, Deleuze and Guattari, and Irigaray.
